<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/clear_with_reminders_-_iphone_620px.png" alt="Clear for iOS with Reminders" width="620" height="300" /></p><p>Late last month, Realmac teased an update to Clear for iOS and Mac, which promised to deliver one of the most-requested features: Reminders. That update has finally arrived, complete with a bonus for owners of the former Clear+ app.<br /><br /><a href="http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/clear-reminders-launch" target="_blank">Realmac Software announced Tuesday</a> the release of <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/clear/id493136154?mt=8" target="_blank">Clear for iOS 1.4</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clear-tasks-reminders-to-do/id504544917?mt=12" target="_blank">Clear for Mac 1.1</a>, which now offer the ability to set a date and time to be reminded about items on any to-do list.<br /><br />Adding a reminder is elegantly simple: Tap or click the "Add Reminder" prompt located underneath any to-do list item, select a date and time and Clear will sync the reminder via iCloud to everywhere the app is installed, and serve it up at the appropriate time.<br /><br />Realmac has also introduced new Sound Packs to Clear, which are included free with the Mac version, and available as an optional in-app purchase on the iOS app, which iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users can try out before actually buying. In addition to the bundled Clear sound pack, today's update adds Sci-Fi and 8-bit options, the latter of which will certainly bring back memories of a long-lost era for former arcade game junkies.<br /><br />As a way of thanking users who previously purchased Clear+ for iOS, Realmac is offering the new Sound Pack absolutely free. To claim these in-app purchases, users will first need to reinstall Clear+, open the app and then jump over to Clear for iOS and navigate to the Sounds setting; complete instructions are <a href="http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/200478892-Free-Sound-Packs-for-Clear-Customers" target="_blank">posted on Realmac's support website</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/clear/id493136154?mt=8" target="_blank">Clear for iOS 1.4</a> is now available from the App Store, with the companion <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clear-tasks-reminders-to-do/id504544917?mt=12" target="_blank">Clear for Mac 1.1</a> also ready to download from the Mac App Store.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/clear_with_reminders_620px.png" alt="Clear for iOS with Reminders" width="620" height="300" /></p><p>The annual Macworld/iWorld show kicked off Wednesday in San Francisco, where many of your favorite Mac and iOS products are now on display. Although your trusty recap reporter can't be there in person this year, we've rounded up a handful of news that is surely being talked up on the show floor, and as usual, we're bringing it all straight to you, no ticket necessary...</p><h3>Latest 4-Bay Drobo Plays Nice with Time Machine</h3><p><a href="http://www.drobostore.com/collections/frontpage/products/drobo-4-bay" target="_blank">Drobo announced Wednesday</a> the release of its third-generation storage solution of the same name, featuring four drive bays and a new low price starting at only $349. The company claims the latest box is four times faster at rebuilding data in the event of a drive failure, and adds battery backup to make sure the device properly shuts down in the event of a power failure. Best of all, the latest and greatest Drobo is guaranteed to play nice with Apple's Time Machine, right down to allocating only a certain portion of the available storage so the rest of the drive can be used for something else. Drobo's online store is now accepting preorders, with more costly options that also include 4TB, 8TB or 16TB of hard disk storage.</p><h3>Realmac Offers Status Report on Clear with Reminders</h3><p>Realmac Software had hoped to have a big update to Clear for Mac and iOS by the end of March which adds Reminders to the mix, but the company <a href="http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/clear-reminders-status" target="_blank">penned a blog post Wednesday</a> giving an update on where things currently stand. That update is now expected to arrive in early April, and will also include the ability to customize sounds as well -- a feature Realmac is making free for former Clear+ customers, or as an in-app purchase for all other iOS users. Clear for Mac owners will receive the new sound packs free of charge, and the company has <a href="http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/200478892" target="_blank">already posted a FAQ page on their website</a> that details how to get claim the freebies, once they're actually available, of course.</p><h3>Google Play Music Now Allows Uploads via Chrome Browser</h3><p><a href="https://plus.google.com/+GooglePlay/posts/aDp3mH4Drqk" target="_blank">Google Play announced Wednesday</a> (via Google+) that music lovers using the company's Chrome web browser can now drag and drop music files to add them to their cloud-based account. The feature, which skips the dedicated Mac or PC uploader software entirely, first has to be enabled under Google Play Music's Labs option, which is home to a variety of different experimental features. The upload feature also includes the ability to open a mini-player by clicking the arrow in the bottom right corner, which allows listeners to skip songs or just check out what's playing.</p><h3>"Jobs" Netflix Disappearance Blamed on Subtitles Issue</h3><p>It's been a rough start for the Ashton Kutcher-starring biopic <em>Jobs</em> on Netflix, as the Steve Jobs story popped up in the streaming service's catalog on Tuesday, only to vanish without a trace later the same day. <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2014/03/25/jobs-biopic-starring-ashton-kutcher-now-available-on-netflix/" target="_blank">According to 9to5Mac</a>, the film briefly returned on Wednesday only to disappear once again, an issue the company blamed on the film's subtitles. Ironically, Netflix starting hyping the movie's availability on its official Twitter account, apparently without realizing that it wasn't actually live -- and as of this morning, the entire site appeared to be going haywire, with search unavailable completely. So, do tell us in the comments if you've been successful at streaming <em>Jobs</em>, or if you're waiting it out for the officially sanctioned, big-budget Sony version instead.</p><h3>Check Your Email, You May Have Free Amazon Money</h3><p>Everyone loves free money -- especially when it's a partial refund from something you purchased so long ago, you probably don't even remember it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1002402851" target="_blank">Amazon began doling out credits this week</a> as part of an eBook Antitrust Settlement for purchases made between April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012 for Kindle books published by Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon &amp; Schuster, Macmillan and Penguin.
